Positions of 3 in A277544.

Numbers having 3 as rightmost nonzero digit in base 6. This is one sequence in a 5-way splitting of the positive integers; the other four are indicated in the Mathematica program. Every term is a multiple of 3; see A277573.

Numbers m having the property that tau(3m) < tau(2m) where tau(m) = A000005(m) (i.e., the number of divisors of m). - Gary Detlefs, Jan 28 2019
